Where Are You?
Posted on Monday, May 25th, 2009
This poem seeks to capture a recent insight about that chap who sits aside observing, but not especially committed, to the events occurring in my life; that is, until I snatched him — he must be a he — from his revelry.
Where Are You?
At times you linger
Beside me on the right,
Whispering sometime shouting
Through mind-heart clamor.
Outside of me you conjure
Yesterday’s regrets
Stirring aflame memories,
As if to rewind reality.
Observing – witnessing
You know me intimately,
Yet you prefer it seems
To remain apart.
And I reluctant become
Your object examined
From afar through time
Caught in past neglects;
That is until I reach across,
Outside myself to you,
Grip you close tight and pull
So we two become one.
In present time – no past,
We see vision clear,
Gain perspective even wisdom
For what is unfolding now.
